18F partners with agencies to improve the user experience of government
About us
As an office within the General Services Administration, 18F knows how to work with government. We partner with federal, state, and local agencies to improve the user experience of government services by helping them build and buy technology. We help agencies define their strategy and work towards a solution, from discovery through acquisition. By sharing design and procurement best practices, we coach our partner agencies to build successful projects now and prepare them to continue their modernization efforts into the future. We’re looking for candidates passionate about our mission, with top-notch software development, design, content, and operations skills to match. We’re a remote-first team with offices in DC, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, and we have teammates working all over the country. https://18f.gsa.gov/join/
